Grrrr. Damn you DCFC. Damn you straight to hell. I had to know and now i can't un-know. Now I know how my buddy feels everytime someone covers a Zepp tune. And its not a good feeling.
Nice cover of great song, I think one of the best ever really. And really great job with video, quite touching. Although myself I would have put more dogs in, but that is just me.
You people saying negative things about this, you are wrong. This is superb, what a wonderful band they are. Great version, thank goodness for bands like this.
not the same feeling i get when i hear Matthew Sweet play it. still a good song, its just that this version doesn't hold the same power as the original.
@JLDB1987 You wanna talk about underappreciated? Check out Michael Penn. The man's a fucking genius songwriter and musician and doesn't get nearly as much attention as he deserves. If you like Matthew Sweet, Penn's the man for you!
@MatthewErich Hey Matt--agree about Michael Penn. No Myth was a great track. that first album got a lot of buzz and play, but he, like Sweet never hit it big, though MS had a few more radio hits. You are right though: good, intelligent pop songs with depth (sounds like an oxymoron, huh?)
@rocketmangogogo Agreed, the vocals are good but the guitars sound sanitized and without ant dynamics. Not bad, just not nearly as good as the original.

They should be smart enough to know when not to cover a song. Discretion is the greater part of valor and all that.

Matthew Sweeet: truly one of the most underrated and underappreciated artists of our time. The guy writes the best pop rock songs ever.

The vocals sound eerily similar to Matthew Sweet, sadly the guitars managed to suck all the heart of the song.
